I think the type of therapy that might be helpful depends on why you want therapy. If you have specific concerns that you want to change (anger management, a phobia or dibilitating anxiety), CBT can be very useful. It is typically more engaging and focuses on problem solving rather than simply talking. if that isn't what you want then you might prefer talk therapy. Either way I like the suggestion of interviewing several until you come upon one that you seem to click with. The relationship between client and therapist is usually more important than the type of therapy.
